Article Synopsis
- The study examines dietary and economic changes in the Early Neolithic Iberian Peninsula using isotopic analysis of human and animal bones from Cueva de Chaves.
- Analyzed isotopic data from 4 humans and 64 animals show humans primarily consumed terrestrial resources with a high meat diet, while domesticated animals exhibited a more uniform herbivore-based diet.
- The findings indicate that wild and domestic animals likely shared feeding resources, and suggest that advanced animal husbandry may have developed independently of intensive agricultural practices during this period.
